FS1-X Control
FS1-X operation can be monitored and changed in a number of ways. Feature sets in
each of the control methods vary, although the front panel and web browser interfaces
offer many of the same features.
Front Panel Control The FS1-X front panel offers the most direct control, ideal for use in machine rooms or
wherever quick changes and status checks must be made. The buttons and knobs
control menus in the display, allowing you to fully configure the system according to
your purposes. You can control inputs, outputs, processing paths, keying, and much
more.
Remote Web
Browser Control
The FS1-X internally contains an optimized web server that allows remote monitoring
and parameter setting via an Ethernet 10/100/1000 network-attached computer running
a web-browser. Networks can be closed local area networks, a straight computer-to-
FS1-X cable, or for greatest flexibility, exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN.
From a network-connected computer you can communicate with one or more FS1-X
devices, even getting them to identify themselves via LEDs on the front and rear panel.
GPI Inputs and
Outputs
General Purpose Inputs and Outputs are available on the FS1-X back panel to provide
contact closure control. Using the inputs, an external contact closure activates a specified
function on the FS1-X. Using the outputs, specific FS1-X functions can produce a contact
closure to activate any desired function on external equipment. The functions to be
activated by an input or that can activate an output are set using the front panel and
browser menus.
SNMP Interface
Monitoring
SNMP offers remote network monitoring of alarm conditions.
Optional FS1-X Features
Frame Rate
Converter (FRC)
The factory installed Frame Rate Converter option enables conversions between the
three video frame rate families:
• 59.94/29.97/23.98
•50/25
•24
The standard FS1-X (without FRC) can also perform conversions, but only between frame
rates that are within the same frame rate family, using add/drop frames.
The FRC option provides:
• High quality motion adaptive linear frame rate conversion
• Multi field/frame 3D pixel by pixel motion adaptation
• 1080p50/59.94 support
• Format and Frame rate conversion can be combined
(for example, 625i/50 IN, 1080i/59.95 OUT)
